    Don’t ‘they’ say that ‘luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness’? Many of the factors that you attributed to ‘luck’ actually have an element of skill to them. Being white isn’t a guarantee of success (despite some views to the contrary), and owning a business doesn’t guarantee success, either. Being smart? I suppose that luck factors in by way of not having any physical or mental defects that would prevent you from being so. Having a good education helps in that area too, and yeah, that can involve luck, but skill as well. Again, lots of people go to great schools and squeak by with a low C average, or worse. The lottery, on the other hand, embodies ‘luck’.
